maybe you should check your System Specs 'cause it says 400 x 95, 1.38v

i don't think you can have a Multiplier at x 95

Windows is keeping hold of the original multiplier which I believe is 9 however, it's taking the new FSB into account hence then 4.5GHz.

its reading the max multi (9X) and timesing that by the FSB (500) and getting 4.5 ghz... where you are actually running 500 fsb X a 7.5 multi


there a few apps out there that do the same thing, as said b4 alsong as cpu-z is correct



(also can i ask why are you running a X86 OS with the 4GB or ram, just get the X64 and be done with, after all thats one of the reasons why a X64 OS's are here (to use more then 3 gb or ram correctly)

Vista and 7 can ise up to 4gb of memory, and in pasted even with x64 of Vista i had several issues with the programs, games i play and almost every error or issues i still see today is people that use x64 versions of Vista and 7 that's why i still use x86 and it's running like a dream like XP x86

(i know i have said something like this before, and people keep knocking me down everytime i say this but it's true one way or another.)

A lot of games were poorly programmed and not ready for 4gb of ram.
They were built to use no more than 2gb of ram, and when paging anything over that it would cause a crash.

There is a list of fixes all over the place for various games this applies too and the list is moderately large considering the oversight required.
